Our Moshiach/Messiah

For years, many who have been trying to keep Yahuahs Set-Apart Times, have tried to understand how to tell when Yahuahs New Year begins. There have been many different theories taught about how and when to begin the year. Many people just follow the Jewish calendar, which attempts to use the equinox to begin the year. But usually those in control of the Jewish Calendar use the equinox incorrectly, and thereby they observe the spring feasts when it is still winter, and the rest of the moadim/feast days at the wrong times of the year. And by doing so, they break Yahuahs Word with their traditions. Another idea that is taught by Karaite Jews and some others, is that seeing the green ears of barley in the land of Yisrael/Israel is what determines the beginning of the year. But there is Nothing in Yahuahs Word to back up this incorrect teaching. They try build an entire teaching on one word, the word for the 1st month of the year Aviv, which is the only month that Yahuah gave a name to instead of just a number. The Karaites state that Aviv means green ears. And they are correct about the Hebrew definition. But this meaning is nothing more than what most call spring when everything turns green. Yes Aviv does occur in the springtime when barley and everything else turns green, But nowhere in Yahuahs Word does He state that barley turning green is what determines the beginning of the year. Nor can this flawed concept be used in a manner that makes sense. What did Noach do when he was on the Ark during the great flood? How did he know when the new-year began? What did Moshe and Yisrael do when they were wandering around in the wilderness for 40 years, in which time they planted no crops? Think about if there is a drought, like the seven year drought that Yoseph/Joseph foretold to pharaoh. Or the many other famines that occurred in Yahuahs Word. How about a regular flood, or other climate/weather related events that would destroy or delay crops? Or how about something as simple as location? Even the difference in climate between northern Yisrael and southern Yisrael, the barley will ripen at different times, possibly weeks apart. Let alone the changes in the weather patterns and climate going on the earth today, which will continue to get worse in these last days. Also Yahuahs calendar must work around the earth, not just in the land of Yisrael. As He gave Yisrael the command to observe His Set-Apart Times and Days Through-out your generations and He knew that Yisrael would be scattered throughout the earth. Yahuah would not make us reliant upon a man going to Yisrael and telling us if the barley was green yet, knowing we would just

have to take mans word for it. Yahuah is not going to make anyone rely upon a man to keep His Appointed Times. Also before the last hundred seventy years or so, we couldnt even send a telegram and ask someone, let alone call or email them. A written message would have to physically take the trip. It would have taken months to get a message there and back, at which time the year would already be in, at the least, the summer season, and all the spring feasts would be missed. Some might say that there was no one keeping Yahuahs Times back then, but Yahuah is never without a witness in the earth. Those of us who have been keeping Yahuahs Restored Two Witness Solar-Lunar Calendar* for many years have been using the man made calculation of the spring equinox, as mentioned earlier, to calculate when the next year begins. The equinox, if used correctly, can be used to calculate and project the beginning of a year in the past or future. However, the only way to use the equinox, and begin the year at the correct time, is to always find out what day the equinox is calculated to be (usually on march 20th or 21st) and then find the next Rosh Chodesh/New Moon AFTER the equinox. The very next Rosh Chodesh AFTER the equinox, will be Aviv the 1st month and the beginning of the year. It cannot be used any other way and arrive at the correct time. The Jewish Calendar does not use this rule, and that is why they begin the year at the wrong time so often.

However, Yahuah is Not going to Give us a Command of when to begin Aviv, Pesach/Passover, the Shabbat or any other Moadim, and then make us turn to a pagan man made calendar for the answer. Contrary to what most teach, in His Word, Yahuah shows and uses only One Calendar. And as His Word teaches, it is controlled by His Two Witnesses the Sun and Moon. So there must be a way to physically Read the Sun and the Moon, and determine when the Year begins. Just as we read the sun and moon to know when to begin: Rosh Chodesh or New Moon/Month, all Moadim/Feast Days, every Weekly Shabbat, any work day, and any/all other Days & Times of Yahuahs One and Only Original, and now Restored, Calendar. So as it is with nearly all Restoration Teachings, we need to go to the first laid stone of the foundation of Yahuahs Word. We read in the very first chapter of: Beresheeth/Genesis 1:14 And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the shamayim/heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs (Shemoth/Exodus 31:13), and for moadim (Wayiqra/Leviticus 23:.1 - 44), and for days, and years:

In this One Verse, it covers All of Yahuahs Times! In this verse, Yahuah covers All Days, All Moadim (including the Weekly Shabbat which is a Moed and a Sign), and Years, all on Yahuahs One Calendar! Not two Calendars as many teach!

THE FOUR TIMES COVERED:

signs, and for moadim, and for days, and years
#1 Signs The Weekly Shabbat: Is one of the signs as Shemoth/Exodus 31:13 tells us the Shabbat/Sabbath is a Sign between Yahuah and His People Yisrael throughout their generations. No one else besides the People of Yisrael keeps Yahuahs Shabbat! It points Out Who Yahuahs People are, and it shows we serve Yahuah. #2 Moadim Again it covers the Weekly Shabbat under moadim as Wayiqra/Leviticus 23:1-3. In verse 1 Yahuah speaking, states These are my Moadim and the first one listed in verse 2 is the weekly Shabbat. For those of you who does not believe the Weekly Shabbat is a Moed that is controlled by the sun and moon, you can go ahead and argue with Yahuah. As if you continue to reject what His Word Plainly states over and over again, you will only fight against it to your own destruction.

The rest of Wayiqra Chapter 23 speaks about all of the other annual moadim, which are also covered at the same time in Beresheeth 1:14. Another verse which directly states that the moon and sun are the controllers for All of Yahuahs moadim is Tehillim/Psalms 104:19. #3 Days This again is stating that the Sun and Moon covers All Days, whether it is a work day, a moed, Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh or any other day. #4 Years This is the first verse in Yahuahs Word which shows that the Sun and Moon also Control the Year. So this is the beginning of our Foundation from Yahuahs Word, on How to Read the Sun and the Moon to determine the correct beginning of the year. Beresheeth/Genesis 1:14 tells us point blank that the Sun and Moon are what Yahuah assigned the task of controlling and speaking His Calendar, including when the year begins.

WHEN DOES YAHUAHS WORD TELL US THAT THE YEAR CHANGES?

Schmuel Bet/2nd Samuel 11:1 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when melechim/kings go forth to battle, that Dawid sent Yoav, and his avadim/servant with him, and kol Yisrael; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Ravah. But Dawid stayed still at Yahrushalayim. But Wait! The Turn of the Year is not only listed for the beginning of the year, but also again in the fall! Shemoth/Exodus 34:22 And you shall observe Chag Shavuot, of the bikkurim of the wheat harvest, and the chag of the ingathering- Sukkot at the turn of the year. Additional Verses: Melechim Aleph/1st Kings 20:22 & 26 Divre HaYamim Aleph/1st Chronicles 20:1 Divre HaYamim Bet/2nd Chronicles 36:10 Sefer Yahshar/Scroll of Jasher 4:13, 6:38, 17:11, 24:19, 41:1, 45:29, 50:7, 61:23, & 62:14 The Turn of the Year is stated many times throughout Yahuahs Word. Especially in the Scroll of Yahshar, as seen above. In the context of these verses, it points to two specific times in a year. Once at the beginning of the year, and the second time in the fall of the year. So for the ot/sign that tells us when the year beings, to align with Yahuahs Word, this ot/sign must not only occur in Aviv/Spring, but also a second time in the Fall, as seen in the above verses. So where do we turn to for these instruction that can be read from anywhere on Earth? Tehillim/Psalms19:1 The shamayim/heavens declare the tifereth/glory of El; and the expanse shows His handiwork. 2 Day-to-day utters speech, and night-to-night reveals daat/knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. What is Yahuahs Word Speaking About Here?? The Sun (day), Moon, and Stars (night). They speak to us, and reveal daat/knowledge to Yisrael about All of Yahuahs Times.

BUT HOW DO WE READ THE SUN AND MOON TO CORRECTLY DETERMINE WHEN THE TURN OF THE YEAR OCCURS?
Yahuahs Word tells us over and over The Turn of the Year. This is not just another way of saying Aviv, or the beginning of the year, as we saw it also refers to fall as well. This depiction given in the Word, is an Actual Description of a Physical Event. In other words, The Turn of the Year is how they described what they physically Saw. We know from Yahuahs Word, that this event must be something that we can read by watching the Sun & Moon. What we have to understand first, is when does this event take place, and what are we looking for that Yahuahs Word described as The Turn of the Year.

WHY DO WE NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE TURN OF THE YEAR OCCURS?

Since the Days of Hizqiyahu* when all calendars around the earth were changed, Yahuahs Calendar has either contained 12 or 13 months each year. The reason a 13th month occurs approx every 3 years, is because of the difference between the Moons Current Cycle of 29.5 days, instead of the original perfect 30 day monthly cycle. The Moons monthly cycle was changed due to a change in the Sun. Although they are still closely related, this change caused the Moons Cycle and the Suns cycle to no longer be in perfect harmony. So approx every 3 years, a 13th month is created, so as Yahuahs Moadim will still occur in the correct seasons. But most men have added the 13 th month, when THEY saw fit, and not when Yahuahs Time Pieces, the Sun and Moon, created the 13th month.

SO WHEN SHOULD WE BE LOOKING TO READ YAHUAHS TWO WITNESSES?

What time of the year should we be looking for this event to occur? It should occur toward the end of the year. Why? Because this event is telling us when the next year begins, so it must occur before the current year ends. You do not need to know an Exact Day when the Turn of the Year occurs, as you do with equinox. Only which Month, either the 12th or 13th month, that the Turn of the Year occurs in. What time of the month should we be looking for this event? The 15th day of the month. As it is the only time of the month that Both Witnesses , the Sun and Moon, are visible at close to the same time of day, at Sunset. At this time of the month, the moon is full. Therefore the moon is directly across from the Sun, and the moon is rising as the sun is setting. It being the 15th day of the last month of the year, also gives Any Yisraelite Enough Notice Ahead of Time, when they are Required to be at Yahrushalyim/Jerusalem for Pesach/Passover. Now at the moment this is not being done, as Yisrael has not yet been released from Exile. However, it was done in the days that Yahuahs Word was written, and it will be done again in Yahushuas Millennial Kingdom. NOTE: In this next section, I am going to use a program called Stellarium. This program is a free planetarium software available from http://stellarium.org I am going to use this program for illustration purposes; and you will see a series of screen shots with explanations. But to actually observe Yahuahs Word and His Times Correctly, whether the beginning of the year, the weekly Shabbat or other times, we must not rely upon programs or manmade calculations, we can only use them as learning tools and projected calculations. We must do as Yahuahs Word Commands and Physically Go Out and Look Up and Read His Two Witnesses for All of His Times. What follows in this next section, is a set of diagrams which represent what a person can do by going out and physically looking, to watch and read Yahuahs Two Witnesses, the Sun and Moon.

For learning purposes, were going to start by taking a look at the beginning of the 11 month 15th day of 5991 s.c. (pagan date: jan 29th 2010). Well start with the Sun as our First Witness:
th

Now, we saw the Sun as our One Witness, but let everything be established by at least two witnesses. So lets turn around to the East and take a look at the Moon, on the same day, the beginning of the 11th month 15th day of 5991 s.c. (pagan date: jan 29th 2010):

Page |7

As you saw in the last two diagrams, the Sun & Moon were both Left of their respective cardinal directions. So, what does this mean? Well, to understand it, we must go to the 12th month 15th day of the 5991 s.c. Again well take a look at the Sun first:

Now Lets take a look at the rising moon the same evening, the beginning of the 12th month 15th day of 5991 s.c. (pagan date: feburary 28th 2010):

Page |8

Now, once again in the last two diagrams, the Sun & Moon were both Left of their respective Cardinal Direction. BUT they have both moved much closer to their Cardinal Direction. Now, one thing that I didnt tell you before is that the year we have been looking at had 13th months. So the next two diagrams will be the Sun & Moon, on the 15th day of the 13th month:

Did you see what occurred? The Sun has now crossed or Turned over its Cardinal Direction West, and is now heading toward its Northern procession. Ok, so the Sun has Turned, but how about the moon?

Page |9

As you can see in the last two diagrams, Both of Yahuahs Witnesses, the Sun & Moon, have both Turned from the Left Side, to the Right Side of the respective direction. In other words the Turn of the Year has occurred in the 13th month. For Arguments sake, I will also show the next month, which is Aviv of the year 5992 s.c. (pagan years 2010-2011) which shows the Sun and Moon continuing Right of their Respective Direction:

And the Moon:

P a g e | 10 Now, this is showing the Turn of the Year in the spring time, before the current year ends, so that Kol Yisrael will know exactly when the next Year begins, and has time to be at Yahrushalayim. BUT remember there is two different Turn of the Year listed in Yahuahs Word. The second one must occur at Sukkot, which is in the 7th month, and marks the end of the harvest Shemoth/Exodus 34:22. So what happens in the 7th month, the beginning of the 15th day, which is also the beginning of Sukkot? Lets first look at the 6th month 15th day:

And the Moon:

P a g e | 11

As shown in the last two diagrams, in the 6 month 15 day, the Sun and Moon are heading back toward their cardinal direction. They are close, but they have not yet Turned over their respective direction. So lets now look at the 7th Month 15th day, the 1st day of Sukkot Shemoth/Exodus 34:22:
th th

As seen above, the Sun has now Turned over its respective Cardinal Direction. Now lets see the Moon:

P a g e | 12

As shown in the last two diagrams, the Sun and Moons Position have both Turned over their Respective Cardinal East/West Direction. Once again, this lines up exactly with Yahuahs Word in this being the 7th Month 15th Day, which is the 1st Day of Sukkot, Shemoth/Exodus 34:22 and other verses. That the Second Turn of the Year must occur at or before Sukkot. Note: The distance between the Sun or Moon and its cardinal direction or how close or far away from its direction, will vary year to year. There can even be times when they actually set directly on their cardinal direction. If this were to occur, since this is only the 15th of the last month, the next Rosh Chodesh will still be Aviv. As there is still two weeks before the last month will end, and if the Sun and Moon set on their cardinal direction, they only need a couple of days to finish turning. In other words, another reason why we dont need to know the exact day, but only what month The Turn of the Year Occurs.

DIAGRAM SUMMARY:
In all the previous diagrams, we have shown that the Sun and Moon Turn over their respective direction. First: Both Witnesses Turn in the last month of the year. The last month being either the 12th or 13th month, and the 15th day, which speaks to and gives Kol Yisrael the time needed to prepare and to travel to Yahrushalayim/Jerusalem. Second: Both Witnesses Turn over their respective direction in the 7th month of the year at Sukkot. Which is a requirement according to the Witnesses written in Yahuahs Word. This also shows The Turn of the Year that anyone can Read with their own eyes, no matter where they are on Earth. This is the only way to begin a year at the correct time, and to be able to observe the Sun and Moon according to Yahuahs Command given in Beresheeth 1:14 and many other verses. No other new-year teaching (Barley, Equinox, or other) can align with Yahuahs Word in full. Barley only occurs once a year, and is never given as being a controlling mechanism in Yahuahs Word. The man made Equinox calculation is not something anyone can Physically Read Both Witnesses Sun and Moon, and is only posted on the pagan man made calendar.

REQUIREMENT TO BE ABLE TO READ YAHUAHS TURN OF THE YEAR

There is one basic but crucial requirement to be able to Read Yahuahs Turn of the Year. Direction: You must know where your Cardinal Directions East and West are. There are a couple modern ways of doing this. GPS for instance. But this requires power and in the case of an EMP event (whether nuclear, solar, or other) this device is useless. Another popular one is a magnetic Compass, like this military compass that we own here:

P a g e | 13

The problem with a magnetic compass, is that Earths Magnetic Poles are moving and shifting. They have already moved some distance, sometimes very suddenly. Whatever amount Earths Poles move, the compass will be off by equal amount. Earth is going through the birth pains that are written about in Yahuahs Word. This will continue to get worse, until eventually Earths magnetic field will completely collapse. At which time a magnetic compass will be useless pointing in many directions. If you have not heard about what is going on in the Earth today, or if you are relying upon the media to tell you any truth, you need to search out these things for yourself. As these events are being covered up to keep the people in darkness. We have many articles about the Signs of the Times listed on our fellowship website http://RestorationOfYisrael.ning.com Another way of knowing the Directions is to learn how to read the stars. If you can read the stars, you can tell your exact direction and heading. This was used by Yisrael as is seen in Yahuahs Word. But much of the knowledge of the stars has been lost, especially in recent generations. But just a hundred years ago (and by a few trained navigators for emergency situations today) ships used the stars to navigate the seas of the Earth. They did this mostly by using an instrument called a Sextant seen here to the left. Although today they are used mostly for decoration, they are still in production. I purchased a small one seen here, and plan on learning how to use it. An easy star to learn to read for the northern hemisphere is Polaris, more commonly known as the North Star. You can get a pretty good general direction just from knowing its location, even without a compass, sextant, or other tools. I pray this teaching has shown how to read Yahuahs Two Witnesses, the Sun and Moon, to know how to determine when Yahuahs Year Begins. This is something that must be understood now, as in the days and months to come, the common man made tools and calculations will pass away, by the destruction which has only just begun in the earth in these last days.
